At SummerSlam 2016, we saw a match between Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar. The match wasn’t really good because of what happened in the end. We all know that WWE is a PG company and blood is strictly prohibited in the promotion.

However, in the match, Lesnar busted Orton’s head with some stiff elbows and it shocked everyone. Orton was continuously bleeding, so much so, that the referee had to end the match.

Everyone at the arena was shocked to see this but backstage, Jericho got really angry with Lesnar’s action. According to reports, Jericho confronted The Beast at the Gorilla Pod at almost got into a fight. Both wrestlers were not stopping and even Vince failed to calm them.

Finally, the matter was solved when Orton, himself, calmed Jericho and told him that it was in the script. But the way Lesnar attacked him was really looking like a wild attack instead of a scripted match.
